Mchota taka ni mtu ambaye anaokoa nyenzo zinazoweza kutumika tena au zinazoweza kutumika tena ili kuziuza au kwa matumizi ya kibinafsi. [1] Kuna mamilioni ya wachotaji taka duniani kote, wengi wao katika nchi zinazoendelea, lakini wanazidi kuongezeka katika nchi za baada ya viwanda pia. [2]
Aina mbalimbali za kuzoa taka zimefanyika tangu zamani, lakini mila za kisasa za kuzoa taka zilichukua mizizi wakati wa ukuaji wa viwanda katika karne ya kumi na tisa. [3] Katika kipindi cha nusu karne iliyopita, uzoaji taka umepanuka sana katika ulimwengu unaoendelea kutokana na ukuaji wa miji, ukoloni wenye sumu na biashara ya taka duniani . [4] Miji mingi hutoa tu ukusanyaji wa taka ngumu. [5]
